east, but have no doubt we could nnQ all
the business We would want there If we
tried for il.
MIR. Swasey of Casey & Swasey: Trade
in our line has increased % per cent. in
all directions in the past two years. Two
years ago we did no business in Esst
Texas because we did not seek it there.
Now we sell goods as far east as the Ar
kansas and Louisiana lines. We keep
two men in that territory all the time
busy. Dallas cuts no figure in Esst Texas
in our line. Our competition is all from
Louisville, Cincinnati, st. Louis and Kan
sss City.
&c. Evans Co.: Our trade in the last
two years has increased about l23 pei
cent. each year, or 20 to 25 per cent. al
together. This has all come from eastern
territory. Our western trade has not in
creased in the least on account of the
drouth.
Henry & Peak report an increased trade
during the past two years of at least SO
per cent. A portion of this increase has
come from territory east of this city,
properly belonging to Dallas wholesale
men, and which was previously supplied
by them.
Fakes Co. say their increase has been
at least 20 per cent in the past two years.
This has all come from eastern territory
for the west, by reason of drouth, has
not moved ahead in Its demand for
their line of goods. We ,rade as far
east as Terrell and northeast to Bonham
and VanAlstyne.
Chas. Schneider Co.: Our trade in the
east is continually on the increase, al
though in the west there may have been g
slight falling off. However, on the whole,
our trade has risen III per cent. in the
last two years, which, together with the
decline of the western trade, has all been
made Cp in territory tributary to Dallas
The causes of the lack OF increase OF our
trade in the west may be said to be the
drouth of the last two years and the pro-
hibition contests.
Mr.. Huffman says that on account Of
the bad times in the west for the past
two seasons his trade in thst direction
has fallen of to some extent, but he has
made up that loss by pushing his business
to the south, southeast and east.
Joseph Il. Brown: Trade this year will
be fully thirty per cent. more than last,
and the western trade much better than
last year. With the late rains we expect
it will gradually pick up. Cattle and
sheep men claim better pasturage and
stock in better condition than for three
or four years. Our increase in business
is obtained in the country northeast, east
and south of Dallas, and as our freight
rates are about the same, we look for
gradual growth of business in those dis
tricts. The extension of the Fort Worth
snd Denver City Railway through the
Panhandle has opened up some fine bust
ness in towns formerly supplied by Kan
sas City, and we feel confident the bust
ness will improve in that direction as the
road extends. Present outlook for a
heavy spring trade is very promising.
Fort Worth goods can be found in the
following towns, where, three years ago,
we were almost entire strangers:

The Heunhty Peer.

There's an old yarn about naughty
pei of England's rclam who had mar
ried. The dignity OF his position was
such that it did not occur 10 him that
there was anything he ought not to
have if lie wanted it, Large estates
called him lord, and hundreds of ten
antry, and like many otlier naughty
old peers, he did not want to see them
go to his relations. He wanted an heir.
A child was born unto the naughty
union, and he wanted anxiously for the
result.
We'll, doctor, what is it? What is
it? 1t is boy-a boy. of course

TIRE ties that bind the great Pan.
handle of Texas and Fort Worth
will be strengthened by time and
closer connection. From away up
in the vast Northwest comes this greeting
to Fort Worth through the Tascoss Pion-
eer: "Tascosa sends greeting to Fort
Worth. Another New Year is likely to
see the queen cities of their respective
sections Joined together by bands of iron
as well as of good fellowship and mutual
interests. The day is coming fast when
this Panhandle will be dotted with fair
farms and happy homes, with towns and
cities, with the white school-house and
the belfryed church; then will the grand
domain that now feeds immense herds
for few individuals support instead o
multiplicity of smaller interests; then
will law, order and white-winged peace
light with their beneticeut rays the remot-
est quarters, and then will the pen be &C
knowledged as IN ghtier than the pistol
To Fort Worth enterprise and to its own
latent nstural advantages the Panhandle
will be indebted, and for both those
causes this section will acknowledge its
gratitude to the respective sources"

Why Girls Don't MsrrI.
Boston Herald.

A prominent woman physician of Bos-
ton has freely expressed her conviction
that the great superiority 10 culture of so
many of the young girls OF to-day over
tnat of the average men who go early
into business, exerts one very Bad
effect, namely, that these young girls do
not want to marry such men. Thee is
no doubt greet deal of truth in the
statement. In fact, in other dep.rt-
ments It has always been. poticed that nei
of the standing i'll effects.of, the culture,
say, of flowers, has been to make it's votky
prefer tea rose to head of cabbage; o.
of music, to prefer harmonious Orchel
ira to discordant street band; OF, of I'd
ligion, to prefer piety to profanity
Now, there is no reason why the rul|
should not work equal y in the case of mar
riage The maximum that "sny husband
is better than no husband" bad once al
great deal of truth IN it, for the condition.
OF the unmarried woman was III bygone]
days forlorn one. She could no moreh
help growing sour than mix IN thundeI|
storm. Any and every woman with the
most Insignificant sprig of a husband
could turn mp her nose at her and en-
body weight of public opinion iD her
contemptuous attitude that few single
could have the disURY and
self respect to stand up against. To-day,
however, the scales tip the other way
with vengeance.

GAZETTE puts the number of destitute
families as follows: Callahan, so; Parker,
100; Taylor, 200; Palo Pinto, $50; Cole
man, $50; Jack, 500; Stephens, $50; Run

To place the proper construction upon
the appeal for aid and to comprehend why
such appeal is made beyond county
boundaries, an acquaintance with the
various counties is necessary. In long
settled and thickly populated sections an
appeal for aid beyond county limits would
be regarded as discredItable, but even
rich and densely populated counties
would find the burdens of drouth, con-
tinuous for twelve Or eighteen months,
rather onerous, and such misfortune falls
with crushing effect on sections newly
settled, and populated in the main by poor
people who sought in the outermost coun-
ties to do what men have been
doing for fifty years il Texas, viz, max
ing homes and contributing to the devel-
cpment and growth and greatness of the
state.
1t was very unfortunate for the suffer
ing people that exaggerations on the one
hand provoked exsggerations on the
ether; it was equally unfortunate that in
some instances local committees, acting
without concert or method, were imposed
on. Now, however, those who are able
and willing to aid the destitute can do so
in the confidence that their generosity
will not be IN danger of displacement,
for the Albany convention of county
judges Systematically arranged for the
disposition of all contributions.
Texas is able to aid these people, and
Texas should do it, and do it prompt
ly. These people are not in need
because of any act of theirs, but be-
cause of calamity which no human
effort could avert. The long continued
drouth has emptied the grauaries of
some of these counties as clean as
though the land had been desolated by
fire or earthquake. There IS need and
there is suffering, and in some of the
counties it is urgent, for in some locali-
ties men look upon wives and children
without food, save that which is
stintedly given by neighbors r1ro
themselves look to the future with
serious alarm. Strong men who would
go away to other localities in search of
work dread to leave wives and babies in
the little homes without bread. Men who
have homes paid for grow desperate, and
consider whether they she'll carry their
helpless families to the county site and
leave them as paupers TO be cared for
while they seek work and money and
bresd wherever among other communi-
ties it may be found. All these counties
are not suffering in the same degree and
to the same extent, but there is general
need and, in some, priva.ioa so intense
that without aid, without some reCogni-
ton Of common humanity, there may go
out to the world story of more bitter
any lie which has exaggerated in the past
the tale of suffering in West Texas from
the drouth
Fort Worth weekly gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1887-01-07

ing when the calamity came upon them,
will leave them, months hence, as help
less as they are now.
THE GAZETTE does not urge the au-
thorities of Texas to believe "news-
paper reports" nor does it expect the
state to act upon them; but THE GA
zETTK does urge upon the state authori-
ties to promptly investigate, in their own
way, the truth Of the reports given to
newspapers by honofed citizens of the
stricken counties and which are borne to
the authorities by accredited representa-
tives of the people who are suffering
from public calamity; and If the truth
should demonstrate that the occasion
for action exists, let the action be worthy
of state 80 rich and so great as Texas.
If there is suffering from public
calamity, the state will not only perform
it's duty in relieving it, but such official
relief will be such official location and
explanation of the calamity that no ex-
aegersrions will gain public credence to
the detriment of any section of Texas.
